Preparation
Step 1
Mix dry ingredients together. Cut up lard then add to dry ingredients and blend with a pastry knife until it looks like course oatmeal. Place egg and vinegar in measuring cup and mix then add enough cold water to fill cup to 3/4 cup. Add liquids slowly and mix with a fork. Only add enough liquid to make dough cling together and easily cleans off the bowl. Wrap and chill until ready to use. Makes 4 single crust pies or 2 double crust pies
